The Indian Cellular and Electronics Association (<keyword id="6816005" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="icea">ICEA</keyword>) has sought extension of the <keyword id="984226" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="zero-import-duty">zero import duty</keyword> on open cell television panels beyond September 2019. In a letter to Revenue Secretary <keyword id="9938032" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ajay-bushan-pandey">Ajay Bushan Pandey</keyword>, the ICEA said that the reduction of custom duty on open cell from 5 per cent to zero per cent till September 2020 has given a huge fillip to domestic manufacturing of <keyword id="428513" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="LED-televisions">LED televisions</keyword> and led to reduction in imports from ASEAN countries. It has sought an extension on the zero duty on open cell imports for three years. Citing the Ministry of Electronics and IT's recent proposal to to impose duty of 5 per cent on open cell panels and bring pure cell to zero per cent in a bid to encourage the process of polariser film and COF bonding for open cell, the industry body said that it is concerned about its implementation as the anomaly in differentiation of open cell with bonding and open cell without bonding -- pure cell -- still remains a challenge. The industry body, representing LG, <keyword id="874458" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Xiaomi">Xiaomi</keyword> and Micromax among others, warned of the growth of the grey market if the proposal is put into effect. "If the duty on open cell is not extended beyond September 2020, it will again lead to high imports of LED TVs under FTA, a huge blow to the Make in India programme of the Government of India. It will have an adverse impact on the Indian domestic manufacturers and the EMS companies," the letter by ICEA Chairman Pankaj Mohindroo said.

Xiaomi, LG and Micromax-backed lobby seeks extension of zero import duty on open cell TV panels

<ul><li>Two consecutive leaks from Kodali of Aadhaar numbers</li><li>Posted leaked numbers on Twitter</li><li>Database maybe secure but government portals need additional security</li></ul>Two new cases have come to light with a total of 8.9 million Aadhaar numbers of MGNREGA beneficiaries leaked through the Andhra Pradesh Benefit Disbursement Portal. The details were spotted by Srinivas Kodali, also known as @digitaldutta, who published screenshots on Twitter.

His earlier tweet shows how people’s Aadhar numbers are being to used to collate data on their location, religion, caste, phones numbers and bank account numbers.

The first leak by Kodali was from the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation. It showed an even grimmer reality of how Aadhar numbers are being linked to caste, the type of house a person lives in and the extent of damage it has suffered.

Since then, he has reported the issue to the authorities, but his <a href="https://thenewsminute.com/article/13-lakh-aadhaar-numbers-leaked-andhra-govt-website-linked-personal-details-80178">fear</a> is that the surveys conducted in Andhra and Telangana have allowed citizens to carry phones and biometric readers, collecting private information on almost every individual. Not the first time Most recently, Karan Saini, a security researcher, told <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/another-data-leak-hits-india-aadhaar-biometric-database/">ZDNet</a> that <keyword id="6356006" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aadhaar-card">Aadhaar card</keyword> information could be obtained through Indane’s system, a state-owned utility company. According to them, they tried to contact the authorities for over a month through several avenues but to no avail. The affected endpoint was only pulled offline once the story had gone live. <a href="http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/rs-500-10-minutes-and-you-have-access-to-billion-aadhaar-details/523361.html">The Tribune</a> also looked into the Aadhaar database and found that they could attain all the details about a person by typing in the 12-digit unique identification number once they paid an agent ₹500 (approximately $8). For another ₹300 (approximately $5), that same individual could even print out a copy the Aadhaar card, which could then be used to access various government schemes. Even the Android Aadhaar app was <a href="https://www.indiatimes.com/technology/news/french-cyber-expert-cracks-official-aadhaar-app-in-1-minute-realizes-uidai-s-worst-nightmare-341416.html">hacked</a> by Robert Batiste, a french researcher, in under a minute.

]]></cdata></div> That said, Aadhaar breaches haven’t been directly through the Aadhaar database, but through various government portals and third-parties. So, Ajay Bushan Pandey, CEO of <keyword id="6355252" type="DEFINITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="uidai">UIDAI</keyword>, wasn’t incorrect when he said that there have been no data leaks from the UIDAI database. The Aadhaar card system, in its usage, is more than just the database. There’s a wide ecosystem to be take in to account where security concerns are yet to be addressed. A secure database doesn’t necessarily imply security of information since so much of it exists outside the Aadhaar database itself.
